Hat Trends, Celebrity Hat Wearers

So, who's wearing what?

The floppy wide-brimmed hats pioneered by Sienna Miller in her boho days have given way to the more structured, masculine styles like the fedora. Kate Moss and Keira Knightley, both big hat wearers, have both been spotted in fedoras lately.

For warm weather straw hats are still popular - styles such as the panama look smart and also have a wide enough brim to keep the sun off.

What do you think of these hat trends?

Different approach to style for two generations of fashion icon

Two generations of blonde supermodel were showing their different milieu this week when Agyness Deyn and Claudia Schiffer teamed up to support Graduate Fashion Week.

Underlining her credentials as the current darling of British fashion, Agyness - who was accompanied by socialite Pixie Geldof - had taken inspiration from the punk era.


The extrovert lass from Lancashire was wearing a slouchy knitted top and leather trousers, accessorised with a Union flag clutch. Topping off the retro glam outfit was a spiky hairdo which had been backcombed into tufts.

Meanwhile Claudia, a timeless icon and favourite of Ralph Lauren and Karl Lagerfeld, had taken the classic LDB route in a satin number with ruffle detail.


The style pack were there to choose a Julien McDonald or Alexander McQueen of tomorrow, who'll receive a £20,000 prize to start their own fashion line.
